Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn

by: SANWAL CBC

Topics: Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn, radio drama, classic literature

Item Size: 41.0M

01 By Mark Twain, dramatised by Marcy Kahan. One of the great American novels comes into rich and multilayered life in the most complete dramatisation yet. This BBC/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation co-production evokes pre-Civil War America, and follows Huck and the runaway slave Jim on their journey down the Mississippi on a raft. Twain's wise and affectionate writing gives voice to Huck's growing understanding of Jim's humanity, and remains controversial. This programme contains language that some listeners may find offensive.

Other parts played by Glenn Bang , Mark Caven and Roy Lewis
